In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this activity, learners design, build and test a model suspension bridge for sturdiness and strength.

In this activity, learners use tinfoil to build and test their own boats - which designs will float, and which will sink?

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this design challenge, learners will create their own roller coaster using household objects for the track and a marble or small ball as their cart.

In this activity, learners use design thinking to design and build their own bridge out of household materials including adhesives and/or connectors.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.

The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

In this activity, learners will imagine the challenges and opportunities of asteroid mining.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.
